hey lexicographer, u are way too enthusiastic.. i remember being like that this time last yr, all i can say is take a well-deserved break now and enjoy it before med infiltrates your life and consumes u.. ;)

yep i'm positive :) btw, good luck everyone with med interviews... they are all the same after a while.... all the questions are so predictable by the end of it.

just wondering if there were any studies showing newcastle uni has the best med course.. ? i've been trying to find one... ? also, i'm pretty sure it's monash with the combined med/law course .

so true! That's a nice attitude to have! :)

does anyone know if the bridging courses are held as lectures? Like, what is the chance that I will actually understand the complex concepts of physics if they go at a fast pace with a serious lack of question-asking along the way? If it was held in a nurturing classroom-type environment, i...

well.. u could get the syllabus from last year (ask a teacher or friend etc) and compare it with the syllabus from this year (download it from net if u don't already have one).. then spot the difference :)

hmm.. how about "energy"?

my interviews? they went alright i guess, although the UNSW interview was weirder than the other interviews i had (the questions were unusually irrelevant and I had to stop myself laughing half the time)!! Weisy, just out of curiousity, how come u didn't apply anywhere else like newcastle? Is...

for people who got interviews at unsw and newcastle, which did u put first on your UAC pref''s? I put unsw tho it was a close call..

Good idea... How about: yest. --> beach --> swim :D ( saving ink )

i think the umat exams beats the uai system by a mile... not because i think the umat test is actually relevant to the study of med, for example it doens't test motivation at all, but that the previous hsc/uai system was screwed beyond belief... anyone else think this?

well.. there are 3 sections, all multiple choice. For the logic section, you have to interpret data and some comprehension is involved. For the interaction section, they give you scenarios involving people and you have to choose which option you would do, and the non-verbal section involves...

i went to a few of those... i personally didn't find it useful at all unless you see it as 'revision' they are just lectures, quite impersonal and at a fast pace...

get rid of your couch... Stick your desired UAI somewhere visible. Preferably on the tv screen :D

it depends - are u a risk-taker?

sorry, forgot to answer question about the requirements... Each program has different selection criteria, however the majority of the undergraduate programs (with the exception of james cook uni) requires some level of academic achievement as well as the results of the UMAT exam and an...

it really depends on your style of learning and your compatibility with the different med programs because each uni is different. For example, different forms of learning (PBL as opposed to lectures), the duration of the courses vary from 5-7, the clinical exposure and work experience, the...

What he forgot to mention was that the GAMSAT exam involves yr 12 physics and year 1 uni chem and bio... so perhaps choosing a subject that incorporates them might increase your chances of getting an interview... I don't know if it's a combination of GPA and Gamsat result thoguh?

Well, you could do a general search under yahoo for 'UMAT preparation course'. There are 3 courses as far as i'm aware (although there could be more), run by: - Dallas' Superprep Clinic - National Institute of Education - AMEPP (Australian Med. Entrance Prep Program) Research them...

that's true... ACER doesn't endorse any of the preparation courses... however, practise can never do u any harm, right? :)
